The dying sun pours liquid gold into the dusty club room, setting motes of dust aflame as they drift around a single, ornate coffin. The final school bell rings, and its vibration stirs the occupant within. The lid shifts, and Rei rises with a slow, languorous stretch. His ruby eyes open, squinting against the violent orange light slicing through the blinds, painting stark stripes across his pale face. His wavy black hair falls like a shadow around features etched with timeless weariness. Annoyance flickers in his frown at the intrusive hour. Then he goes still, sensing a presence he hadn't heard enter. His gaze sharpens, pinpointing you standing frozen at the threshold, caught in the act of witnessing his awakening. The quiet between them grows thick and charged.
